This song is about a woman being abused. "Green Lights, 7-11, you stop there, buy a pack of cigarettes, you don't smoke, don't want to", the woman is being forced to buy cigarettes for him. "When he hits you, you feel alive", the woman is so used to the pain and Bono talks about "staying" overnight so he can be with her, end her pain. At the end, "Just the bang, and the clatter, as an angel, hits the ground", she kills herself, falls to the ground, the clatter is the gun dropping, very sad song
The audio is very good but doesn't match with the visual..sorry can't give a thumbs up.. if you posted this without the mismatched concert visual, I may have otherwise changed my mind..
I don't think people appreciate how hard it is for a band to come from a humble background and become massive. Yet alll the best bands seem to do it lol such is the power of music and talent.
Bono is the best, Every time I am sad and lonely it makes me feel good. Getting angry on few is my habit and not showing is as well. If at all I feel the heaven its hear in this song. What else better can be being relaxed from Music of U2. Long live. I am India and hardly people listn to u2 but are more crazy for Music just for the heck of it.
It is possible to love and hate a song at the same time? I think it is. I just love Stay full band, with drums and bass it's my favourite. But, Stay Bono-Edge-Acoustic is shit!!!
It. They doesn't even matter, Just LISTEN. That's what matters. Then you look at their faces, and you know they MEAN WHAT THEIR WORDS ARE SAYING NO MATTER WHAT SONG IS BEING SUNG! That's what MATTERS about U2. They CARE. And it does matter.

vaya chapuza de video. el audio por un lado, la imagen por otro... te gusta mucho la cancion , ya se ve... no entiendo este mix... dublin¿?¿ sydney, boston... :(
The audio is absolutely from Dublin in 1993. The video is in Boston in 2001. Bono's voice is a lot cleaner in 1993 than 2001. The Boston version you can tell his voice isn't what it used to be....that is until the Vertigo Tour. His voice sounds better than ever now!
definitely this video and version of U2-Stay is best ever as they plugged like the original version of CD, lots of people waiting for these but unfortunately the quality is not that good.. I thought it was my wireless router has an issue but it's not. the a/v is not sync.. any links to the stable one??
@FunkeeDonkee yes they would, U2 is one of the last remaining great bands, only band of today newer that may have staying power is Coldplay, but they are no U2
The video is from Boston 2001, but that's an acoustic version, this is has Larry and an electric guitar, but isn't the Sydney version, so I'm guessing it's just a mashup of the 1993 Dublin version synced to some video. Either way, it's lovely. Wish they played it on 360 more.
A great song, but i think the live Toronto acoustic (amnesty international) version is even better. Its on YouTube, but i can only ever find a short version of it. I ended up buying the CD with the track on as a filler track ('Walk on' CD single).... Its awesome.
Agree, Agree, Agree, this is right up there as the best live STAY. Everything in this version is just so amazing, bonos voice, edges voice, the band, but what really stands out IMO is the part when bono stops singing and the crowd enters, I love how the crowd continues to sing even when bono starts singing the ending lines of the song! It almost sounds as if it were planted there on purpose! That part always gets to me! LOVE IT!
audio is from dublin ..had a bootleg in my car for years but yes the vid is the elevation tour....made the mistake with the boston version but the mention of belfast is the difference
I love U2 and that song. It's so deep, so emotional with the beautiful lyrics. one of the best songs by U2. REALLY WONDERFUL. can listen to it endlessly.
What are you saying?? Lips of Bono say "and if you listen" and the audio is on "belfast" yet... Really bad synch, even tho I appreciate the effort and since I love the song (both Dublin and Boston performances), I give the video FIVE STARS rating (H)
The video is really from boston 2001 but it´s mixed with music from the other version. In the original version bono plays also guitar and the edge plays solo guitar.
I totally zoned out before reading ure introduction thing on the vid...sorry man...but really I DO love this song too! :-) I love playing it on my guitar!
OH! I know what happened, I believe you put the song from ure MP3 file over this concert video b/c I can hear the mp3 version (Edge strumming) and the vid version with him picking, and then strumming...they're put together, that makes a lot of sense now b/c this video is DEF. from 2001 (with it's sound) but ure mp3 file is playing over it! kinda cool...that makes much more sense now
I just love lookin at them all, if they knocked on my front door or back door, my husband better go find some place to go cause I plan on havin some fun!
ya can count on the dubs so sing along. the end of this version is way better than sydney cuz of that i think. (bono we live so close yet you are so far away :( .)
i see. The song good the video good but y can see its not the same concert. Bone have better voice in the zoo tv than in the elevation tour. And now his voice... well
